Special
SpecialMethodAtom enumerates atoms that are known to the virtual machine and that correspond to specific primitive invocations. Multiple primitives may be provided to make the associated method polymorphic.
Parameters
The name of the method or macro being defined.
A List of prefix functions to provide to the macro definition if this is a macro being defined, or null to indicate this is a non-macro. Note that if there are multiple primitives provided in the variadic argument below, each will use the same list of prefix functions.
The primitive to wrap into a method or macro definition. Note that multiple overrides may be provided in this variadic argument.
